Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi recently made gravely erroneous remarks on the Taiwan question, drawing widespread international criticism. Experts argue that these statements are not accidental but an inevitable outcome of Japan's long-term rightward political shift, warning of risks to regional peace and a potential revival of militarism.
Following recent Foreign Ministry warnings, China has urged the United States to join a united front against resurgent Japanese militarism, citing threats to its Taiwan interests. State media highlight Tokyo's blurring of civilian-military lines, including PM Sanae Takaichi's nuclear armament proposal.
